So you mean spend $78k and then another $10k to fix the mistake in design?

I know a lot of people love their car to death because it’s new. But I think a lot of extra money spent on car detailing is a waste if you aren’t gonna keep it. My bet is that the car at It will be kept for 3-4 years and then traded or sold. So, just keep it simple. If you know for sure you wanna keep it then I would quickly clean it, detox the topcoat and quickly apply the ceramic coating to protect the car. It will make the top coat last a lot longer.

Touchless is definitely the way to go as it doesn’t push debris that can scratch the paint. Regularly washing it is very important, some people don’t wash it regularly and overtime the debris start to oxidize and acidify that dissolves the top coat. So regularly washing the car is very important. I would definitely recommend washing every month.

Sounds like she’s not used to driving a SUV that is heavier and slower to get up without putting more torque down. That’s not how most women drive SUVs they usually drive them slow. Seems like she’s mashing the gas and braking too hard.

I would get used, the Gx M cars are huge depreciation cars. Sorry, but enjoy the car for now and cry resale value later.

BMW manuals aren’t very good but their DCT is one of the best in the industry.

Why do people think 100k is a big deal? It is not a big deal if you took care of the car properly and drive it normally. BMW has very solid drivetrain and engine if you didn’t buy the crazy V8s that requires very expensive maintenance. I think the only thing being some of the wear tear items like hoses, oil pumps, water pumps, and sensors go out that can be expensive to replace if you go to the dealer. But these aren’t major breakdown items.
